Kernels of corn infected with Helminthosporium and transferred to 24 C. Seedlings that started growth at maydis race T and sown early in May in the field resulted 18 C wilted 17-21%, but those that started at 24 C wilted in 0-2% wilted seedlings, but those sown 2 weeks later 27-30%. A seed lot containing a high percentage of yielded 0-30% (avg 8%) wilted seedlings despite a better kernels infected with H. maydis was treated with 16 seedling stand at the later date. In the greenhouse, a high fungicides or combinations thereof. Of these, thiram plus temperature (24 C) increased losses from preemergence either carboxin or benomyl gave the best seedling stands. blight, root rot, and wilt, attributable to H. maydis, whether plants were maintained at 24 C or started at 18 C Phytopathology 63:138-140
Vase life of Alstroemeria hybrida ‘Regina’ was longest in inflorescences with secondary and tertiary florets. The presence of additional florets on a cyme decreased the vase life of the primary floret. Maximum flower opening and normal coloration occurred when the primary florets were harvested at the “rolled petal stage”. Cutting Alstroemeria stems above the blanched portion of the stem before placement in water increased water uptake and vase life. When secondary florets were present, leaf removal did not decrease vase life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
